Wikipedia accuracy ratings

arstechnica: A new salvo has been fired in the perennial war over Wikipedia’s accuracy. Thomas Chesney, a Lecturer in Information Systems at the Nottingham University Business School, published the results of his own Wikipedia study in the most recent edition of the online journal First Monday, and he came up with a surprising conclusion: experts rate the articles more highly than do non-experts.

Tiny flash drive!

I know you’re all probably sick to death of seeing my eensy flash drive (not an innuendo), but you’ve got to see this one, it’s positively miniscule!

Somewhere nice for christmas dindins?

If anyone has any recommendations of somewhere nice for christmas dindins, please post a comment below, or email me if you’re one of those freakish types that thinks part of their soul will melt if their words are printed on the World Wide Internet. Cork city and county for preference, although I’ll travel a small bit further afield for something extra nice.

Remote Control Mail

Clever idea, but I’m not sure I’d want other people opening my mail.

Techcrunch: Kirkland, Washington based company Document Command Inc. has launched its consumer facing web interface for postal mail called Remote Control Mail. The service provides an alternative to PO Boxes, mail forwarding or waiting until you get home from the road to deal with your mail. The company receives your postal mail, scans the outside of what’s sent to you and provides a web interface to quickly sort through letters, bills, magazines and direct mailings. It looks like a lot of fun and very useful for some people. Though Remote Control Mail is targeted today towards niche users, that market size is not small and there are plans to extend related services to far more users. Document Command is working on a full scale robotics system that will provide even more functionality to institutions and mail customers in general.

“Internet Register Ireland” Lying Thieves

The IEDR sent this message out to IE resellers this afternoon:

It has recently come to the attention of the IEDR that a company operating under the name “Internet Register Ireland” is in the process of contacting businesses with registered .ie domain names by post and by fax, soliciting them to register their domain name with the “Internet Register Ireland”. The “Internet Register Ireland”, a German based company will request you to fill out their form and return it to them signed. It should be noted that they charge an excessive fee of approximately €958 for the registration of the .ie domain name in their database.

We would like to reassure all of our customers that no such organisation has been authorised to act on behalf of the IEDR. If you are contacted in this manner we would recommend that you disregard this letter and advise your customers to be aware of this activity.

The IEDR are responding to enquiries from concerned domain holders, by recommending them to contact an official IE Reseller if they require any further Internet services for their website.
